I don't own either Yu-Gi-Oh GX or Arc-V!
Posted 6/20/15: Hey everyone, DarkZorua100 AKA Darky here with my first crossover story! *parties in the corner because I have no life XD* For the people that are new to my work, welcome to the Dark Side! We have cookies and lots of card games! For my returning followers, you guys remember when I said I wanted to do a crossover of Arc-V and GX? Well I finally got the first chapter done! Yay me! Anyway, to the real notes, since I have no idea where Arc-V is heading from here (since we're only at episode 60 when this was first posted) most of the stuff that happens in this story is going to be based on theories and such. So in other words, I might not update this in quite a while for some chapters until I know where Arc-V is heading in the future. As for now, on the other hand, I already know there are going to be two more chapters following after this one so I hope you guys are looking forward to them!
Now for the GX stuff, in this story, I'm going to be using the Japanese names for the characters since we haven't got all of the English names yet and I just like the Japanese names better for some of the characters in Arc-V (why Zuzu?! -_- Why?!) and if some of the characters of GX are OOC then you guys got the remember that they are going to Academia in the Fusion Dimension! If they act like crazy killing soldiers, just remember that or you can blame Yuri (and don't even get me started on how that kid is Haou and Jehu's love child (Darkspiritshipping is canon now and I don't care what you say against it, it's true XD (even if it even happened in the anime)
Anyway, my Darklings, I think that's it for now. If I forget anything else, I'll just add it at the end. I hope you guys enjoy this, review if you want, and yeah. :)
*This first chapter take place during Reiji's and Selena's flashback on episode 41: The Land of Ambition - Duel Academia. This takes place three years ago in the past before we get to the present in the chapters following this one.*
...
The Fusion Dimension, one of the Four Dimensions that made up the universe alongside it's counterparts, the Synchro Dimension, the Xyz Dimension, and the Standard Dimension, is the home to many Fusion users of all kinds, from the standard use of Polymerization to other Fusion cards made just for a certain archetype and finally, with the most talented Fusion users able to perform a Contact Fusion without the use of a Polymerization card.
The Fusion Dimension is home to not only Fusion users but Academia as well. Academia is a large castle like school building on a island in the middle of nowhere. It's a mysterious school that takes the Fusion users of it's dimension and trains them into Duel Soldiers. Academia is run by Akaba Leo under the guise of "The Professor", a man originally from the Standard Dimension, who uses Academia to fulfill his goal of using the power of Fusion to make all the dimensions one, which many of the students of Academia seem to share. To put this goal into motion, Academia plans to have its army of Duel Soldiers attack the other Dimensions and conquer them by turning its inhabitants into cards with their first target being the Xyz Dimension very soon.
With that rumor being spread like wildfire across the halls of the Academia, most if not all the students were excited, hoping to be the ones to be placed on the front lines of the attack.
However, one of the students was beyond annoyed and angry by this, knowing that she, unlike her comrades, was forbidden to ever leave the halls of Academia. Why was that? She had wondered. She had prove her skills in battle time and time with none stop wins against the other members of Academia and that still wasn't enough. "Your time will come." Akaba had told her when she questioned him about it. That only infuriated the girl even more. What did she have to do prove herself worthy to him? Take down the whole Xyz Dimension with her own two hands by herself? If that was the case, then so be it. She'll take matters into her hands and go to the Xyz Dimension even without the Professor's blessing. Maybe then he'll recognize her skills.
"You know, if you stand still any longer, people will start mistaking you as a statue."
Acting on impulse from being surprised, the girl activated her pink shield-like duel disk that projected a blue sword-sharped blade with the tip of the blade being pointed at someone's throat. At first, the girl thought it was one of the Academia's faculty members, since they were currently after her since she might have ditched her Duel Monsters class to find a way to get to the Xyz Dimension, however, she found it strange how the faculty members were sudden her size but as soon as she noticed dark brown hair with a lighter more orangery patch on top and wide-eyed matching brown eyes, the girl's own pair of green eyes widen in surprise.
"Judai," the girl spoke, narrowing her eyes at the brunette. "What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Currently, trying not to get stabbed in the throat." Judai replied, nervously, and at noticing that, the girl lowered her duel disk and shut it off. "Thank you and as for what I'm really doing here for...well-" Judai scratched the back of his head "-you weren't in class so I got worried and came looking for you. To be honest, though, I didn't think I would find you hiding behind a wall corner."
"I'm surprised you even noticed." The girl mumbled, glancing over Judai's shoulder to make sure that he wasn't followed. From the looks of it, they appeared to be the only ones here.
"I think I can tell when one of my friends is missing, Selena, plus it isn't that hard to notice when a girl with a giant yellow ribbon in her hair doesn't show up to class."
The girl, Selena, blushed sightly at the comment, thinking back to a couple months back. Back then, that was before she had her ribbon so her long dark purple hair, mostly her two light blue bangs, would always fall into her face in the middle of a duel which always annoyed her to the point where she couldn't concentrate and she would sometimes lose because of it. Getting frustrated at that, she thought about cutting her hair but just before she could, she was pulled into a duel against some other kid who was one-year-older then her. That person turned out to be Judai. So just before their duel started, Selena's hair started to fall into her face again, causing her to scream out in annoyance. Asking if that was distracting her, Selena grumbled something under her breath and nodded and just like that, Judai called a time out, much to Selena and the ref's surprise, right before the older boy took off out of the arena and in a few minutes later, he came back with a large yellow ribbon. Raising an eyebrow in question, Judai just smiled at her before walking over and helping her tie her hair back into a ponytail so it was out of the way.
"I like your hair long like that so you should be given a way to feel the same way too." Judai told her with a large smile.
Selena didn't know what to say to that and only ended up blushing like she was doing now. After that, they had their duel and it only ended in a tie since they were taking to long to finish, as the ref had put it, with them being even matched. Judai and Selena had both complained before they looked at each other and laughed. After that, Judai had become Selena's first and own real friend.
"So what are you doing here anyway, Selena?" Judai asked, snapping the younger girl out of her thoughts. "Does this have anything to do with not being able to go to the Xyz Dimension?"
"This has everything to do with the Xyz Dimension, Judai." Selena answered him, her little hands tightening into fists at her sides. "I'm going to get Akaba to respect and honor my skills even if it kills me."
"Well I should hope not. I like you very much alive, thank you." Judai responded before adding with a smile. "But to make sure that doesn't happen, I'll help you."
"What?" Selena questioned as that got her full attention.
"I'm going to help you show The Professor that your one lean, mean dueling machine and if anyone asks, it was all my idea so you won't take the blame."
"Judai, are you an idiot?"
"No, but I'm pretty sure that it's my last name."
"Your last name is Yuki but I'll give you points since your last name means courage."
"That it does," he chuckled, sheepishly. "So what do you say?"
Selena didn't know whether to roll her eyes or face palm so she instead turned around, checked to make sure the no one was still here, before looking back over her shoulder at the brunette. "You just better not slow me down."
"Yes sir...uh I mean ma'am."
...
"There she is!"
"Don't let her get away!"
At times like this, Selena wished she was named Tyche, after the Greek Goddess of Luck instead after the Greek Goddess of the Moon so she would stop having this much bad luck. Though at times she would blame Judai, because only Ra knew how much bad luck he carried on him, besides his amazing drawing luck that he seemed to have. However, she could only blame herself at this point because instead of continuing to sneak her way to the docks, she just decided to go for it and run the rest of that. To make a long story short, that only worked well for five seconds before their stomping around caught the attention of some of the faculty members. Judai, at first, wanted to challenge them to a duel to get them to back off but Selena pointed out to him that it would be stupid to since that would only draw in more attention which they didn't need at the moment.
So here they were, a eleven and a twelve-year-old, running for their lives to get away because if they were caught, Ra knows what Akaba would do to them as a punishment. Selena didn't think hers would be all that bad. Besides being house arrested here, she was actually treated very well by Akaba like some kind of goddess she was named after. Judai, on the other hand, was just another solider in his eyes and not a very good one to be honest. Sure, he was a great duelist, but in terms of acting like a solider of war, he was pretty far off.
"Uh oh," Judai muttered and it was just then that Selena realized that they made a wrong turn and were now trapped between a brick wall behind them and three faculty members, along with one of the teachers now, had them boxed in and trapped in front of them.
The teacher, who was blonde wearing a robe, stepped followed. "It is the Professor's orders." He spoke. "Please come back, Selena-sama and you too, Judai-kun."
Selena gritted her teeth at this. Of course. All the teachers and stuff were given orders that if they happen to see her fleeing the building, they were to stop her at once and bring her back. Well, she wasn't going to let that happen, to her or to Judai. It was her fault that he was in her mess, even if he asked to be, and she wouldn't forgive herself if he was punish because of her.
"I want to test my own abilities!" Selena told them.
"And it isn't fair that your holding her back from doing that!" Judai added to her claim, who looked ready to activate his red shield-like duel disk and this time, Selena wasn't going to stop him if a duel did start.
"There is no way the Professor would allow you to do that." The blonde replied in a matter of fact tone.
Selena didn't know whether it was his tone or words that made her see red but she had it after that. "I don't need his permission!" She snapped before activating her duel disk. "I'm getting out of here on my own will! I won't show any mercy to anyone who gets in my way!"
The blonde teacher sighed. "You leave me no choice. Capture her."
"Elemental HERO Sparkman, attack with Static Shockwave!"
Just as the stuff was advancing towards her, a male monster with blue skin in golden armor appeared in front of them and fired at the ground closed to their feet with a blast of electricity, causing them all to step back and flinch.
Even Selena looked surprised at this before she turned towards Judai who grinned back at her and gave her a thumbs up. His duel disk was now activated too which projected a white sword-sharped blade and had a monster card on it. Glancing down at the card, Selena made out the details of it. The monster was Elemental HERO Sparkman: a Level 4, Light Attribute, Warrior Type, Normal Monster with 1600 Attack Points and 1400 Defense Points.
"Don't worry, Selena, I got your back." Judai told her with his trademark grin.
Selena nodded in appreciation to her friend before drawing her five cards. "I summon Moonlight Blue Cat from my hand!"
Moonlight Blue Cat was a humanoid blue cat monster with a yellow half moon crescent over her left eye. She was a Level 4, Dark Attribute, Beast Warrior Type, Effect Monster with 1600 Attack Points and 1200 Defense Points.
What happened next wasn't even really a duel. The stuff, teachers, and the main forces at Academia all used the same Archetype, Ancient Gear, which Selena and Judai both knew how to counter with ease. So it didn't take long for either one of those two to take the faculty members out.
"It's ridiculous that you even call yourselves professors of Academia." Selena mocked them.
"At least their teaching us what not to do in a duel." Judai joked and Selena had to bite her lip just so she wouldn't chuckle at that. She wasn't going to allow herself to show weakness at a time like this, even to Judai.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves. This isn't over!" The blonde teacher proclaimed and as soon as he said that, more faculty members showed up, causing Selena to curse under her breath and Judai to mumble, "we jinxed it."
"I summon D/D Cerberus!"
Everyone looked up in surprise to see a kid, who appeared to be one-year-old then Judai at the most, standing on top of the brick wall. He had grey hair and purple eyes that were hidden behind red-framed spectacles. He was also wearing a different model duel disk that had a white body and projected a red elongated rhombus blade. The monster that he just summoned was D/D Cerberus, a Level 4, Dark Attribute, Fiend Type, Effect Monster with 1800 Attack Points and 600 Defense Points.
D/D Cerberus was just like the one from Greek Mythology with having three heads on it's body but one of them was where his right hand should be and his left hand was tail. He's fur was blue and each head had white eyes and bright sharp looking yellow teeth.
And the D/D monster put those teeth to good use. When the faculty members tried to summon another monster, D/D Cerberus shot forward and tore that monster to shreds.
"Up here!" The kid spoke, reaching his arm out to them to pull them up the wall.
Selena didn't know how to response to that. She just turned to look at Judai, who along with E-HERO Sparkman and with this other kid's D/D Cerberus, were holding off the faculty members so they couldn't get in any closer to them.
"Go Selena! You're the one that their after!" Judai yelled at her from over his shoulder.
Selena nodded to that as she looked up before jumping. She reached her arm out, allowing the other kid to grab her and pull her up. As soon as she was up the wall, Selena turned around and offered her hand to Judai. "Judai, come on!"
The brunette didn't make a move towards her. Instead, he just turned his head around and sent her his trademark grin. "You go on ahead. I'll keep these guys busy so they won't follow."
"Judai, this is no time to play the hero!" Selena yelled down at him.
"But playing hero is what I do best." The older boy smirked, before he looked at his own HERO. "Right, Sparkman?"
It might have just been her imagination but Selena was sure that the monster nodded in response to that. Either way, before she had a chance to argue with him some more, the other boy grabbed her wrist, the one with her bracelet on it, and started to pull her away, making their monsters disappear along with them.
After that, they were running, much to Selena's annoyance and angry. She couldn't believe what just happened. They left Judai behind! Sure, she knew he could handle a Battle Royal on his own but he was still a kid! Even he could only take so much before he would start getting tired. Then who knows what they would do to him!
As they finally made their way to the docks of the island, Selena lost it and released herself from the grey-haired kid's grip. "Let me go! How could you have left Judai behind! He's not only a comrade but my friend!" She snapped, much to the other boy's surprise which in turn caused Selena to raise an eyebrow at him. "You're not from Academia, are you?! If you were, you would understand how important comrades are in battle!" With that, she started looking around. "Where is your boat?!"
"Boat?" The boy questioned.
"You must have ridden a boat here, right?" Selena assured before shaking her head. "What am I saying? We have to go back for Judai! He was trying to help me get out of here to grasp my future and if something happens to him because of me-"
"Nothing bad will come to Yuki Judai."
That voice. That voice that belonged to the person that Selena wanted to impress the most but at the same time despised the most at the given moment just because of all the hell that he was making her go through just to get his approval.
Turning her attention away from the grey-haired boy, Selena gazed at the Head of Academia, Akaba Leo, a middle-aged tan-skinned bald man with light blue eyes. Like any leader, he was dressed like one with him wearing a purple colored militaristic outfit with several black buttons, a purple cape with a black ending, and a pair of grey boots. He also had on a black belt with a red line which both end in a button on the front, and what appear to be red circular strings across his chest with a pair of black gloves on his hands. Though his most noticeable traits were the armored plate at the left side of his head with what appears to be a red circular lens, and pronounced blood vessels on the top of his head, making him appear like he was experimented on and was turned into a cyborg.
Akaba wasn't alone either though. Standing on his sides, in a pair of twos, were four members of the Obelisk Force, an elite group of Duel Soldiers with the highest rank at Academia who all wore blue uniforms and helmets designed after Obelisk the Tormentor.
"Father!" The boy gasped, much to Selene surprise, at seeing Akaba. Since when did the Professor of Academia have a child?
"You're future is here, Selena." Akaba continued, ignoring the boy who claimed to be his son. "I know your abilities more than anyone else, including your friend, Yuki Judai."
"Then why do you keep me locked on this island?!" Selena questioned in annoyance from the claim and from the fact that he thought he knew her better then Judai did. "Why do you not use my abilities?!"
"It is not that time now." Akaba replied, calmly.
This was another thing that Selena despised about the Professor. He always talked in riddles and never answers to her questions. "Then when?! When you destroy Xyz?! Or Synchro?!"
The young boy turned to look back at her in question. "Xyz? Synchro? Destroy...?!"
"A rumor had been going around that the advance into the Xyz Dimension is about to start." Selena stated. "If you approve of my abilities, then now is the time to use them!" Selena pointed to herself. "Add me to the vanguard squad and Judai too! He deserves this as much as do!"
"I cannot for either one of you two." Akaba proclaimed.
"Why?!"
"You have what you need to do and Yuki Judai is no solider. He wouldn't last long on the fields of battle."
"Wait a minute!" The boy cut in. "Advance? Destroy? What are you talking about?! What is this place?! What the heck is Academia?! You didn't say anything to me or mother and even abandoned the company! What are you even doing?! Father, answer me!"
"So you crossed dimensions just to find that out?" Akaba mused more to himself then as a question.
"Dimensions?"
"What?" Selena glanced over at the boy. Crossed dimensions? Abandoned the company? Just who the heck was this kid? So he wasn't from the Fusion Dimension? If he really was Akaba's son, does that mean he's also not from the Fusion Dimension? If so, then what dimension was he truly from then? Xyz? Synchro? Standard?
Before Selena had the chance to question Akaba, she turned around when she heard footsteps approaching them from behind and gasped as she and the Akaba child were grabbed by more members of the Obelisk Force.
"What are you doing?!" Selena exclaimed as the Obelisk Force held her up off the ground by her arms and shoulders and carried her over to Akaba. She struggle to get herself free but it failed, though her pride wouldn't accept it. "Let me go! Let me go! "
"Selena-" Akaba began as Selena was busy yelling at the Obelisk Force to "let me go!" and "don't touch me!" "-I will find you no matter where you run and definitely being you back always." With that, he waved off the Obelisk Force. "Take her away."
Selena just glared angry at Akaba as the Obelisk Force carried her off. "Let me go! Let me go!" The little girl struggled. "Stop it! Set me free, you bastards!" Shaking her head and closing her eyes, Selena yelled one more thing to the blue skies above right before the Obelisk Force gagged her to get her to shut up.
"Judai!"
...
"Come on, tell me that's not the best you guys got?" Judai asked, in between breaths, as the twelve-year-old stared at his defeated opponents, a large group of teachers and stuff along with a few members of the Obelisk Force, who were all knocked out cold by Judai's final attack with his ace monster, Elemental HERO Neos, who was still on the field, looking at him.
"That last attack took to much out of you, Judai." Neos spoke to his friend/master.
"Don't remind me, Neos." Judai replied, leaning up against a wall to keep himself balance, breathing deeply with his eyes closed. "Just give me a minute..."
A scream from further down the island, a scream that said his name, had Judai opening his eyes in a blink of an eye, ironically.
"More like a second..." Judai corrected himself, pushing himself off the wall, wide eyed in panic. "Oh holy Ra, Selena! Neos, we got to go!"
The E-HERO nodded just before he disappeared as Judai made his way out of the alleyway, jumping over the knocked out forms of the stuff and students of Academia to do so.
"And, may I ask, where are you going, drop out boy?"
Judai paused in his running at hearing that stereotypical Italian accent voice and nickname. Glancing over his shoulder, he groaned when he saw that it was indeed, his least favorite teacher here at Academia, Professor Cronos de Medici.
"Oh Sensei, how wonderful it is to see you." Judai said, very sarcastically, at seeing the blonde hair, cross dressing looking teacher. "But as much as I would love to stick around for detention again for skipping class, I kinda need to help a friend at the moment."
"Oh è così, drop out boy?"
"Cronos, I don't speak Italian. Japanese please."
Cronos's eyebrow twitched at that before he repeated himself. "I said, oh is that so, drop out boy? Selena-sama is currently busy at the moment, na no ne?"
"Yeah screaming at the moment and if you can't tell, I need to help her!"
"I think not." Cronos pointed a finger at him. "You're the reason that she's acting like this, na no ne?! Ever since she met you, drop out boy! And that's why-" Cronos activated the duel disk that was attached to his coat "-today's detention is finally going to smack some sense into you."
"Sensei, I really don't have time for this." Judai grumbled before he heard footsteps behind him where Selena's screaming came from. He looked over his shoulder and cursed sightly when he noticed that members of the Obelisk Force had shown up and were blocking his way to her. "I really don't have time for that either but I guess you guys haven't left me much choice in the matter, huh?"
Judai activated his duel disk as he turned his head forward to face Cronos.
"Duel!"
Judai: 4000
Cronos: 4000
"Professors first, drop out boy." Cronos stated looking at his hand before he took a card and placed it in his Field Spell zone. "I activated Geartown!"
"Geartown?" Judai questioned before he looked around when the field around them started to change until they were standing in a junkyard town with everything being made out of rusty old gears.
"With us now standing in the grounds of Geartown, "Ancient Gear" monsters can be normal summon with one less tribute." Cronos explained just before he played a monster card on his duel disk. "With that being said, I summon to the field, Ancient Gear Beast in attack mode!"
Ancient Gear Beast was a large hound-like beast made totally out of rusty gears. The creature was a Level 6, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 2000 Attack and Defense Points.
"Turn end," Cronos finished, without placing any set cards to defend himself.
"Bad hand, sensei?" Judai questioned but he didn't wait for an answer as he drew his sixth card. "Hey, fine with me, I'm kinda in a hurry anyway. With that being said, I summon Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin in attack mode!"
Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin looked just they way you expected him to look like based on his name, a space humanoid dolphin. Aqua Dolphin was a Level 3, Water Attribute, Warrior Type, Effect Monster with 600 Attack Points and 800 Defense Points.
"Ready when you are, Judai." Aquos, the Aqua Dolphin spoke.
Judai nodded to that as he sent a card to his graveyard. "I activated Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin's effect. By discarding a card to the graveyard, I can look at your hand and if there's a monster in it with attack equal to or less then Aquos, it's destroy and you take 500 points of damage and if you don't, I lose 500 points. Now, let's see what you got, Professor."
Hologram versions of Cronos's cards in his hand appeared in front of Judai and the brunette grinned when he noticed that Cronos had Ancient Gear Cannon in his hand, a monster with 500 Attack points.
Cronos mumbled something in Italian as he sent the monster to the graveyard and right after he did so, he was hit with 500 points of Effect Damage.
Judai: 4000
Cronos: 3500
"Now for O - Oversoul!" Judai continued, holding up a spell card with a large purple O right in the middle of it. "This spell card allows me to special summon a Normal "Elemental HERO" Monster from my graveyard."
"But there aren't any monsters in your graveyard." Cronos claimed but he paused after saying that when he remembered something.
"You forgot about the first part to Aquos's effect. I had to discard a card, remember?" Judai took the card back from his graveyard and played it on his duel disk. "Rise, Elemental HERO Neos!"
The ace space alien HERO of Judai's deck shot down from the heavens above and landed on the field with a bang. Elemental HERO Neos was a Level 7, Light Attribute, Warrior Type, Normal Monster with 2500 Attack Points and 2000 Defense Points.
"Mamma Mia!" Cronos gasped, actually taken by surprised that Judai was able to summon that powerful of a monster on his first turn.
"Neos, attack Ancient Gear Beast with Cosmic Crush!" Judai ordered.
The Leader of the Neo-Spacian nodded before he charged forward and karate chop the gear made hound in half.
Judai: 4000
Cronos: 3000
"Now Aquos, attack Cronos directly with Sonar Wave!"
Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin opened his mouth and he let loose a loud shriek like attack, causing Cronos to cover his ears in pain.
Judai: 4000
Cronos: 2400
"I set a card face down. Turn end." Judai finished as a set card appeared behind his two monsters.
Cronos uncovered his ears before he tried to pop them while mumbling "curse some dolphin made me go deaf" and after he got them popped, he drew his card. "Just because you got a few luck hits in doesn't mean your winning, drop out boy."
"You might want to tell that to the life points then."
Cronos's eye twitched at that. "I'm starting to get really sick of your comments, drop out boy. Just for that, no more mister nice guy-"
"That was you being nice? Wow, now I'm kinda worried to see what you look like angry." Judai muttered.
"-now I'm going to activated Heavy Storm! This spell card destroys all the other spells and traps on the field."
A strong gust of wind blew across the field, destroying Judai's face down, Demise of the Land, along with Cronos's own field spell.
"Uh question sensei? You do realized that you just destroyed your own field spell along with my face down, right?" Judai questioned.
"That, drop out boy, was the whole point." Cronos responded, making Judai raise an eyebrow in question. "Of course, I wouldn't expect a drop out boy like you to understand so I'll explain it to you. When Geartown is destroyed, I can special summon a "Ancient Gear" monster from my hand, deck, or graveyard onto the field."
"Uh...come again?" Judai asked before he looked down when he felt the ground start to shake. "Well that's not a good sign."
"Indeed it is, for you that is. So with Geartown gone, I'll use it's effect to summon my ultimate beast, Ancient Gear Golem!"
From the fallen rusty gears of Geartown, a large golem made out of the same gears and metals rose onto the field behind Cronos with it's single red eye staring down at Judai. Ancient Gear Golem was a Level 8, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 3000 Attack and Defense Points.
"Okay, I'm starting to see what you mean by "no more mister nice guy"." Judai said, staring back at the Golem. And the thing is, I would be excited by this if I wasn't so worried about Selena. He thought.
"Ancient Gear Golem, attack that deafening dolphin with Mechanized Melee!" Cronos ordered as his Golem moved his arm back before he shot it forward at Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin.
Aquos gulped before he was sent flying into the ocean by the Golem's punch.
"Aquos!" Judai yelled before he had to brace himself so he wouldn't fall to the ground by the Golem's attack.
Judai: 1600
Cronos: 2400
"Had enough, boy?" When Judai didn't answer, Cronos activated a card during his Main Phase 2. "Well I hope not since I activate Ancient Gear Explosive. With this, you take damage equal half the original ATK of my Ancient Gear Golem!"
"What?!" Judai gasped, watching as a bomb appeared in the Golem's hand before he threw it at the brunette. Judai tried to block the attack the best he could but when the bomb went off, Judai gasped again as the explosion sent him flying to the ground.
Judai: 100
Cronos: 2400
"Turn end, so tell me drop out boy, can you still stand?" Cronos taunted, looking down at the child.
To be honest, Judai didn't know if he could. All those other duels before this had really tired him out and to make matters worse, Judai knew for a fact that he had hit his head hard on the ground when the explosion went off. Now everything to him was spinning with his eyes opening and closing against his will and before Judai knew what was happening, he blacked out.
...
If it wasn't for the smell of smoke and fire, Judai was sure he would still be out like a light. His eyes burst open, sitting up in panic, looking around to see where the fire was but when his vision finally focused in on what was around him, his eyes widen when he noticed that he was no longer near the shore of Academia. Instead, the young brunette found himself in a pitch black room with the only light coming from mirrors reflecting off each other that were all over the place but yet, he didn't see any fire or smoke.
"Holy Ra, how hard did I hit my head?" Judai wondered before he grabbed said body part when it started pounding. "Okay pretty hard...wait..." Judai looked around some more before he gulped. "Oh Ra, did I hit my head hard enough to actually die? Is this what the afterlife looks like?! That would explain the fire...oh crap, did I end up in hell?!"
"You're unconscious, not dead, idiot." Someone spoke from behind him in a emotionless tone, causing Judai to jump to his feet from surprise. "Though, I will admit, the thought is amusing to think about."
Turning around to face whoever was speaking to him, Judai didn't know who to expect to see standing, or in this case sitting on a dark throne, there in front of him but he sure as hell didn't expect to be facing himself without facing one of the mirrors and he knew for a fact that he wasn't facing one of the mirrors since this guy was dressed in a black coat, black pants, and had on a long crimson cape. Though what really made the difference was that, unlike Judai who had dark brown eyes, this guy's eyes were pure golden. If Judai didn't know any better, which he didn't, he would have swore he was facing a demonic version of himself.
"Uh...who the actually hell are you and why do you look just like me?" Judai asked, taking a small step back.
The figure in question just stared at him with an emotionless expression as he answered, "I am called many things, Yuki Judai, from a demon to a full out diablo. Though most people known me as the Supreme King but you can just call me Haou for short. As for you're second question-" Haou waved it off "-well that's not important at the moment."
"Uh it kinda is to me." Judai replied, a little freaked out that this Haou guy knew this name, though when Haou still didn't answer his second question, Judai bit his lip. "Okay, how about a different question then, where are we? The last thing I remember was blacking out during my duel against one of my professors and-"
"And you woke up and ended up killing him." Haou finished for him, much to Judai's surprise and horror. "And when I mean kill, I mean this." The golden eyed male snapped his fingers.
Judai turned when he noticed that one of the many mirrors around them started to show his duel against Cronos like it was a home movie. Though as soon as it got to the part where Judai collapsed, the thing paused. Judai glanced at Haou when that happened.
"I do wonder though, before I show you what happened, I must know. What made you so angry?" Haou questioned in his emotionless tone.
Judai raised in eyebrow at that in questioned. "Angry? I just wanted to get to Selena..." Judai glanced at the ground as soon as he said her name. "I guess it's to late now huh?"
"Very," Haou admitted before he snapped his fingers again and the video started playing.
...
Judai: 100
Cronos: 2400
Cronos checked his watch before he looked back at Judai's unconscious form. "Come on, drop out boy, if you don't stand up soon then that's going to count as a forfeit." Cronos looked back at his watch. "You got about ten seconds left."
Nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one...and right before the time hit zero, Judai was up on his feet in a blink of an eye, causing Cronos to jump in surprise. "How did you...?"
"Draw." Cronos flinched at that voice, watching Judai draw his card. His eyes were hidden behind his bangs but Cronos, however, did notice an evil smirk forming on his face when he noticed what he drew.
"Uh...drop out boy?"
"I equip Neos with Neos Force." Judai spoke, placing the Equip Spell into his duel disk. "This equip spell raise Elemental HERO Neos's attack points by 800."
"What?!" Cronos gasped, watching as the space hero Attack Points increase from 2500 to 3300.
"Neos, attack Ancient Gear Golem with Neos Force!" Judai ordered just before his HERO gathered up energy in his hands before firing a blast of it at the ancient golem. The attack blasted Ancient Gear Golem right through the chest, causing the golem to start breaking apart.
Judai: 100
Cronos: 2100
"And I'm not done with you just yet." Judai stated, smirking sinisterly, his bangs brushing out of the way to reveal golden eyes. "Since Neos is equip with Neos Force, you now take damage equal to your destroyed monster's original attack points."
Cronos went wide eyed at hearing that. "No way...Mamma Mia!" He screamed just before his Ancient Gear Golem came crashing down on him.
Judai: 100
Cronos: 0
...
During that whole duel, Judai just stared wide eyed at himself, questioning whether that was him or not or even Haou at the end. He turned to look at his doppelganger, who was just sitting on his throne with his emotionless expression, not given anything away. "How...what...?" He truly didn't know what to say after seeing that. "Did Cronos-"
"No, his monster didn't kill him when it fell on him." Haou answered his unfinished question. "He, did however, die in a way after his life points hit zero." After saying that, Haou held up a card and at closely looking at it, Judai's eyes almost looked like they were about to fall out from how wide they got because instead of showing a picture of a Monster, Spell, or Trap on the card, it instead held a picture of Cronos who looked to begging for his life. "After you beat him, you used your duel disk and turned him into a card but that wasn't enough for you. The Obelisk Force, as you call them, were still standing there, looking terrified if I may add, and you ended up dueling them, owned them in seconds, and carded them as well before you just collapsed. Now to answer you're answer from before, where are you? The answer is simple really. You're in your subconscious. Well our subconscious to put it in correct terms."
"Our subconscious?" Judai was barely able to ask, still to shocked over what he just heard to say much.
"You want to know why I look like you, Yuki Judai? It's because we're the same person." Haou answered before he once again snapped his fingers and at doing so, one of the mirrors close to him reflected an image of a pit of fire. "Every heartbeat that keeps you alive, every skill that you possess-" Haou threw the card that contain Cronos into the mirror before the mirror shattered "-even your very soul is mine as well. We're one and the same, Judai, but-" Haou shrugged before he let out a sigh "-I don't expect a child like you to understand all of this right now. I'll get back to you on this once you're older. For now, however-" Haou leaned back in his throne, head raising on his forearm. "-you can either leave or stay here for a bit longer. Normally that thought would annoy me but I like the broken."
Judai stated at Haou when he said that last bit and what he said just after that.
"They're so easy to control." Haou added with a dark smile.
...
Well, my Darklings, that was Chapter 1 of "The HERO of Academia". Yeah, Haou in this as well. Yay! And he's going to give Judai just hell XD Oh speaking of Judai, who do you guys want him to be ship with in this story? I'm still trying to decide between Spiritshipping, Selfshipping, or Darkmoonshipping (the ship name I thought of for Judai and Selena. Selena name means the moon while Judai is pretty much a God of Darkness so they make a dark moon XD (let's make it offical people!) Just tell me who you like the most in the reviews and such.
Anyway guys, again, hope you enjoyed. Also sorry if the ending didn't make much sense (more detail about that will come next chapter) and yeah. See ya later!
PS. Selena wants Sensei to notice her XD (I'm so sorry but I had to lol)
